  • People will not understand what you do.
  • People will refuse to acknowledge the value of what you do.
  • People will -- willfully -- reduce what you do to "look and feel".
  • People will feel entitled to critique, offer advice, and second guess anything you do, no matter how profound their lack of knowledge and experience.
  • The word "intuitive" will make you feel stabby.
  • You will helplessly watch as employers slap the acronym "UX" on anything vaguely related to design or front-end development.
  • You will helplessly watch as anyone who's once designed their aunt's church's Web site using Wix and MS Paint slaps your hard-earned UX label on their resumes.
  • You will forever be doomed to make product managers, marketers, and developers get defensive.
  • And also, everything in this game: UX Drinking Game.
